Britannia, AD 120.
The frontier is failing.
The dead are returning.
When communication with the northern watchtowers ceases, the Ninth Legion is ordered to investigate. Centurion Marcus Aelius Varro expects hostile tribes, deserters, or rebellion. He does not expect silent forts, vanished patrols, and the dead walking beneath the cold rains of Britannia.
As settlements fall and entire garrisons disappear, rumors spread faster than official reports. Men speak of a fever that does not kill cleanly. Of corpses that rise after death. Of villages abandoned overnight.
Rome has faced barbarian invasions, civil wars, and imperial intrigue. It has conquered kingdoms and crossed continents. But beyond the frontier, something ancient and relentless is moving south.
As panic threatens to shatter the discipline holding the province together, Marcus must lead the Ninth into a nightmare no Roman training prepared them to face.
Because if Britannia falls, the Empire may follow.
The Black Frontier is a gripping historical horror novel that combines the realism of Roman military life with the relentless dread of a civilization confronting the impossible.
